Hi Rocco
It's possible that the network interfaces aren't being available at the 
time that the coova-chilli startup script is running. If you look in 
/etc/chilli/config you'll see some lines like this:

# HS_WANIF=eth0            # WAN Interface toward the Internet
#HS_LANIF=eth1             # Subscriber Interface for client devices
HS_LANIF=$(cat /proc/net/dev|grep -o eth.|grep -v $(route -n|grep 
'^0.0.0.0'|head -n1|awk '{print $8}') | sort| head -n1)        # 
Dynamically get unused network interface for LAN side

If you comment out the last HS_LANIF line, and uncomment the HS_WANIF 
and HS_LANIF lines above it and set them to appropriate valus for your 
setup, reboot and see if it works then. If it still doesn't work then we 
need to find out why your network cards aren't available.

Check in /var/log/syslog for chilli error messages when starting up.
